UNSPSC 50561515: Non GMO cox's orange pippin apple purees

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO cox's orange pippin apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561515 Non GMO Cox's Orange Pippin apple purees is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within food procurement. State and local governments solicit this code rarely and inconsistently; the recent opportunities show minimal direct demand for this specific apple variety and processing method. Most recent solicitations under food codes spanning this namespace address broader fresh produce, canned fruit, dried fruit products, and shelf-stable food items for institutional food service — school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services, and state veterans homes. When apple products appear in recent bids, they are typically fresh apples (multiple varieties including Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Ambrosia, Honeycrisp, and Jazz), canned applesauce without brand specificity, dried fruit bars with apple content, or apple crisps, rather than purees branded to a particular cultivar. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state-supported facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, state hospitals and living centers in Texas).

Recent activity spans Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with the strongest concentration in Texas (TDCJ cafeteria foods, HHSC procurement for state hospitals and living centers, Austin ISD) and Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Gwinnett County). Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky, packed in juice, water, or light syrup) with a bid deadline of June 2, 2026; the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple food categories including canned and fresh fruits for TDCJ warehouse distribution with a bid deadline of May 4, 2026; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of multiple apple varieties and other produce for the 2026-27 school year with a bid deadline of June 26, 2026. The code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned specifically with non-GMO Cox's Orange Pippin apple purees; business development professionals evaluating this code should monitor broader canned fruit and processed-apple-product categories where institutional demand is more active.
